Presentation
It's equipped with a unique Fender-designed bridge pickup, designed to reproduce vintage sounds while remaining adapted to modern versatility. With its 3-position selector you can choose between an unfiltered tone, an active tone, or a specific preset that adds a pleasant depth of bass. This configuration invites you to explore a range of sounds, from bright and snappy to warm and mellow, without ever losing clarity. Every key brings you closer to those legendary sounds that musicians of yesteryear loved.
The maple neck, with its modern 'C' shape, combines comfort with fluidity. The Indian laurel fingerboard with its 241 mm radius facilitates bends and complex chords. The 42 mm saddle width and 21 narrow tall frets ensure millimetre precision for your performances. The glossy tinted varnish gives this neck an authentic style, and above all a pleasant feel that accompanies your progress with pleasure. It's a balance between meticulous aesthetics and thoughtful ergonomics.
The poplar body of the Classic Vibe Custom Esquire has a high-gloss polyurethane finish that catches the light elegantly and protects the wood effectively. With its three vintage bridges and through tailpiece, this guitar ensures reliable tuning and good vibration transmission. The ensemble is completed by a three-ply parchment pickguard plate that adds classic charm to the instrument. This attention to detail translates into an instrument capable of meeting all your rehearsal and recording needs.
The retro aesthetic is also embodied in the vintage action, which lends a touch of authenticity to the screw-down neck. The Candy Apple Red colour is a nod to the models of yesteryear, adding a touch of pizzazz to your equipment. The bone saddle enhances the resonance of the nickel-plated steel strings (.009-.042), ensuring a tonal balance between brilliance and roundness. Fender and Squier have succeeded in creating an instrument where every detail evokes an era while remaining adapted to today's musician, for a relationship full of complicity.
